With our clinic magazine Hellersen Insight, we would like to give you exciting insights into everyday clinical life at our specialist clinic for orthopaedics, trauma surgery and sports medicine in Lüdenscheid. We report on a wide range of topics from the medical specialties of the sports clinic, interesting patient and employee stories, portraits of our specialists as well as political topics from the healthcare sector and the Märkisch district.
In this issue of Hellersen Insight, you can find out more about the interesting topic of the specialization of clinics, the planned hospital reform and the many opportunities opened up by international cooperation.
In the medical section of the issue, Dr. Volker Stoll, Chief of Knee Surgery and Sports Traumatology, sheds light on the causes and treatment options for cruciate ligament injuries. Dr. Ulrich Schneider, Head of Doctor of Sports Medicine, shows the central role that regular exercise plays in preventive health care, and Dr. Stefan Nolte, Chief of Conservative Orthopaedics at the German Spine and Scoliosis Centre, sheds light on the clinical picture of lumbago.
An emotional patient story awaits you from the Center for Special Pain Medicine: After patient Thomas Engelberg had already endured a painful journey, marked by severe restrictions to his musculoskeletal system and various pain therapies, Chief Dr. Wolfgang Welke implanted him with an innovative pain pump, helping him to enjoy a better quality of life.
